Element Hassium
It is not known to occur in nature and has been made only in laboratories in minuscule quantities.
Hassium is a chemical element that is represented with the symbol Hs and the atomic number 108.
Hassium is highly radioactive; the most-stable known isotope 269Hs has a half-life of approximately 16 seconds.
In the periodic table of the elements, hassium is a transactinide element, a member of the 7th period and a group 8 element; it is thus the sixth member of the 6d series of transition metals.
